Jenny McCarthy slipped into a little red dress last night for dinner with friends at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, and the former Singled Out host has never looked hotter! Maybe that's why the Chicago Sun Times just hired her as an expert blogger?

The 39-year-old former Playboy pin-up will be writing about relationships, fitness, dating and her experiences as a single mom to son Evan. Debuting yesterday, her first column discussed how married couples can spice up their sex lives. She may not be married, but from the sounds of it she's definitely still spicing things up with a new beau!

Apparently Miss McCarthy has been seeing jeweler-to-the-stars Pascal Mouawad for the past couple months, according to E! Online. He served as her date last night at the famed Chinese eatery, and even bought her roses on the way out. Who said chivalry is dead?!

"It's a very new thing and not serious yet, but who knows where it will go? Jenny lives in Chicago full-time now, but is back and forth a lot to shoot her show here, and so her and Pascal see each other whenever they can. He is often traveling because of work, but they are making it work and enjoying each other's company," a source told E!.
